Let Players Chill
In Destiny, you’re constantly fighting the forces of the Darkness. When you spawn, there’s enemies nearby, and at pretty much every turn, they’ll be there waiting for you. That’s totally part of the gig, to be fair, but it’s also a bit annoying that you can’t explore a planet without someone trying to put a claw through your visor every two minutes.
With No Man’s Sky, peace is the (relative) name of the game. You don’t get into trouble unless you go around starting stuff (or someone notices that you have tasty flesh), and it’d be great to feel some of that serene grandeur in a future Destiny title. For Halo 3, there was a Forge mode that allowed you to morph into a Monitor and explore the multiplayer map. It’d be nice if you could just morph into a Ghost (specifically your Ghost) and fly around – be able to just fly. Give players the chance to scan stuff to learn more about the world, take a breather from all the killing, something of a different pace. Sure, there’s Destiny’s social spaces, but warping from planet to zone to planet again is needless busywork.
